For keen hard court players, this shoe is what you want. The trusted fan favourite gets an update; The Gel-Resolution 9 has advanced stability and cushioning for players who like to control the game from the baseline. Asics has improved the shoe’s stability, flexibility and comfort while maintaining the close-to-the-court feel and overall durability you count on from previous generations.
The upper segment of the shoe has increased flexibility due to the Flexion Fit technology that has been improved with a checkerboard pattern. This update continues to provide form-fitting support for enhanced stability while improving ventilation for overall comfort. Additional support is provided by Dynawrap technology to give more stability in the forefoot during side-to-side movements. This combination of technologies allows you to experience a locked-in feel when you're making quick and hard transitions for improved response and overall performance.
In the midsole, comfort and feel is provided by FlyteFoam and GEL cushioning in the heel and midfoot which are proven Asics technologies that help reduce the impact of shock from abrupt stop and go movements on court. With this update, Dynawall technology enhances your overall performance by extending into the heel for added stability during lateral movements, a functional feature that is effective when you're running and covering both sides of the baseline.
The full-length outsole incorporates the AHAR Plus compound that works in conjunction with the PGUARD toe protector to increase traction on court and reduce the overall level of wear in key areas. This update now features a separated heel which produces more stable landings for quicker recoveries in between shots. The new separated design outsole in the heel area increases the contact area and enables smooth landing along the center of pressure to decrease the impact on the body for an improvement to stability, comfort, and response.
